Description
The Acton Peninsula is located on the northern shore of Lake Burley Griffin, in the centre of Canberra.
It was created when the lake was artificially built by damming the Molonglo River and excavating around it to create the desired shape.
The Royal Canberra Hospital used to be located here, jutting out prominently into the lake. The hospital was demolished in 1997 and replaced by the National Museum of Australia in 2001.
The cache is placed next to the shores of Lake Burley Griffin with views across West Basin towards Weston Park.
Please rehide the cache to avoid it being muggled
Room for small swaps - please BYOP

Logs
After chatting with the CO it was determined that this cache needed replacing. I was given permission to do the maintenance and now my name appears in the log. TFTC Kittykatch.

First stop and no luck here today. I suspect it may have been removed as it shares the hide with a GC cache!
Day #1 (13/11) of 2
With my most likely last chance to attend an event in Canberra before the end of the year, I decided to take it. So at 6:40am I left home. Along the way I got a FTF and had breakfast at Gold Creek Macca’s. Then I headed to the Arboretum to find some caches. After these finds I headed to the event. Another great, CCE event to attend. That makes 14 total… so far. Hopefully I can attend some more before the end of the year. Afterwards, I found some more caches nearby the event and then off the National Museum of Australia to find some older caches and the new AL. Just as I was finishing up, it started to rain, so I decided to head to the motel to dry off and rest up for tomorrow. KFC for dinner tonight.
It seems like someone has replaced this cache but it has Geocachers names in it, who hasn't logged it yet. If I didn't find this one please let me know, so I can correct or delete my log.
TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found and for allow them to bring me and the caching community enjoyment.
TFTC’s and TFTE!

Headed out to grab a GCA for the daily calendar, but alas this wasn't to be it. Searched the area of GZ but couldn't find it. Didn't come with any back-ups so I couldn't do anything about it. Will wait and see if anyone else can find it.
Thanks anyway KK.....it's off up the path now.

We noticed these new caches out so we decided to drop in on them on the way to work. A quick find between some passing walkers.
Thanks for the cache Kittykatch.
